Just hours earlier, on Saturday, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle in another section of Toms River, the Press also reported.

In the most recent accident, Joseph Nero, 23, was driving his 2006 Yamaha motorcycle north on New Hampshire Avenue around 1 a.m. when his motorcycle hit a vehicle parked in front of a home near White Oak Bottom Road.

Nero, who was traveling with two other motorcyclists from Lakewood, was thrown more than 100 feet, the report said. He was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where he died later that day.

The motorcycle crash occurred soon after a pedestrian was killed while crossing Route 37. Charles Shaw, 50, of Bladenboro, N.C., was struck in the road’s eastbound lanes around 10:30 p.m. Saturday as he crossed near Douglas Street.

There have been six fatal accidents in Toms River this year, according to the report in the Press.
